Did anyone hear Steph say today that 20 US soldiers were killed this week?

When the numbers come dribbling in a few at a time it's easy to overlook the intense tragedy of it all. The Pentagon likes to roll the numbers in dribs. 20 in a week. If these coffins could be seen returning to Dover it would make people take notice to the real costs of this illegal invasion. It might even make people more concerned with the like of "Jeff Gannon" and the propaganda ilk.

1. No, most don't care

and then they lie and say they "support the troops."

2. Yep, like VietNam it's become an all too familiar side-bar.

Oh, by the way people, we have wiped out 20 more of your family members.

3. out of sight, out of mind

I don't see a lot of attention being given to the number of Iraqis being killed either. Children, mothers, fathers, our children (soldiers) all being killed for what? It needs to stop.

4. oh yes... and I also noticed

that of the 16 names they displayed, only ONE was over 23 years old.

5. We just had another loss here in SW Missouri

Army Spc. Justin B. Carter, 21 of Mansfield, MO

Carter was killed in an accident at a storage depot when a rocket-propelled weapon in the facility exploded.

6. I will probable "kick" this a few times

because war is horrendous, it is the murder of children, mothers, and fathers. It is maiming of many more. It is psychological maiming of even more. Unfortunately this is often forgotten. War should be entered into as a LAST RESORT. This war was premeditated long ago, and our sons and daughters are dying, and being maimed.

7. Kick - Lest we forget the price of war

A War that did not have to happen - and who will be held accountable?

8. Very much like Viet Nam

and I hope and pray we start to see the outrage

9. Yes - but it's a strory not riddled w/ home erroticism

and next we're going to get some DU'ers posting articles on how Iraq's elections are so wonderful and we should all thank bush just like Bill, dumbass Maher.
